Another big sports weekend awaits. You know I've got you covered as I'll detail all of the latest and greatest throughout the landscape. On deck:
(2:30) Both League Championship Series in baseball are in the middle games as we look to see who'll face off in the Fall Classic. The Houston Astros have gotten off the mat in the ALCS and drew a game closer, thanks to the ineffective mercenary Max Scherzer. Can the defending world champs push this series back to Houston and possibly take a 3-2 lead? As for the NLCS, it looks like the Phillies are on a mission to repeat as NL champs, up 2-0. Will the Diamondbacks make this a series as the scene shifts to Arizona? I also have some thoughts on how this has been a postseason to forget at this point, the Marlins major screw up as former GM Kim Ng departs and what got into former MLB and now retired pitcher, Trevor May as he had some choice words for Oakland A's owner, John Fisher?
(23:07) NFL Week 7 has a huge Sunday night game(i.e. Miami at Philadelphia) and not much else. Does this game mean more for the Dolphins? Eagles? You do have the Lions going to Baltimore to play the Ravens. After that, it's a rough go on Sunday. I can't help but rail against how this season has been underwhelming due to several factors. Plus, my issue with the schedule and how the product is being worn thin that you'll have to tune in and hear for yourself.
(32:59) College football's Week 8 schedule has a couple of intriguing matchups, headlined by Penn St at Ohio State. I'll get into how this is a huge game for the Nittany Lions if they want to rank with the Buckeyes or Michigan Wolverines in a weak Big 10 conference.
(36:33) The NBA season is just five days away and the hype surrounding Spurs #1 pick, Victor Wembanyama has gone overboard. Now we have to watch highlights of him making passes to other players who are missing shots in a PRESEASON GAME?! You know I have quite a bit to say about this as we get ready to watch his rookie year unfold.
(42:42) On the ice, the NHL has been quiet since we last met on Monday. I'll briefly touch on Blackhawks #1 pick, Connor Bedard and the start of his first week plus in the league. Also, which teams have gotten off to a good start and who hasn't?
